Ravenna

Spring and autumn suit visits to Ravenna’s churches and mosaics, with milder conditions than summer.

Summers are hot and humid, while winters can be cool and damp; bring sun protection or a waterproof layer accordingly.

Mosaic-site admission is a key expense; check combined tickets for eligible monuments before buying separate entries.

Buses serve the city and trains connect Ravenna with other towns, but services may limit flexible regional day trips.

See the mosaics at San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia and the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo.

Take ordinary precautions against pickpocketing in busy areas and keep valuables secure.
